German referee Felix Zweier will officiate the semi-final match of the European Championship - on Wednesday between England and the Netherlands.

In 2006, Zweier received a six-month match-fixing ban for allegedly accepting money from another referee, Robert Heuzer, who was suspended for match-fixing.

In 2014, the Zeit newspaper announced that the verdict found that Zweier had accepted 300 euros from Heuzer before the game in 2004 and that he had not immediately reported the incident.

Zweier will referee the fourth match at this year's Euro.

In the second semi-final, in which France and Spain meet, Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić will officiate.
